12.4W ± 2W

15.9W

Note: Actual power consumption may vary depending on access point usage. Typical power consumption assumes the access point is passing traffic* during typical business hours and is idle during off-business hours. Business hours are assumed to be 11 hours a day, 6 days a week.

^* Test conditions:

(PoE): The 6-GHz and 5-GHz bands both operating at 160 MHz passing 200 Mbps per band of download traffic and the 2.4-GHz band operating at 20 MHz passing 50 Mbps of download traffic; USB disabled; 2.5G Ethernet port; ambient temperature 25˚C (77°F).
